The 2022 F1 Grand Prix is in full swing, with last weekend’s Miami race done and dusted and the high-speed roadshow gearing up for the historic Spanish race in Barcelona. Of course, it’s not just about high stakes and drama on the track, as the just-announced Girard-Perregaux Laureato Absolute Chronograph Aston Martin F1 Edition goes to show.
For the second outing of this high-octane automotive partnership, Girard-Perregaux has deployed their super sporty, 44mm Laureato Absolute case, and it does not disappoint. On its own the broad-shouldered, blocky design of the Laureato Absolute and Aston Martin’s signature green livery would have been enough to get this LE over the line, but that wasn’t enough for Girard-Perregaux, not by a long shot. Not only has the brand opted for a light and strong case in a composite of titanium and carbon that is a solid thematic fit for the F1, but for the first time, they’ve made use of carbon elements sourced from two 2021 season cars. It’s a smart choice that offers a level of authenticity in this partnership that goes beyond a badge deal. The technical smarts don’t stop there either, the supple strap is made from FKM rubber and also features carbon elements from 2021 cars, and has been finished with a fabric effect. Finally, for the first time on a Laureato Absolute, we’re treated to an unimpeded view of the chronograph through a clear caseback.
